Phys.org / Silver nanoparticles pave the way for precise DNA cutting and joining
DNA is composed of long chains that act as the blueprint for living organisms. In genetic engineering, scientists cut DNA at specific sites and join the resulting fragments to other DNA sequences, enabling applications such ...
Phys.org / Infrastructure for African mines destroying forests at 34 times the rate of the mines themselves
Industrial-scale mining in Africa to support global supply chains is leading to unprecedented deforestation across the continent, with 34 hectares of forest removed for every single hectare of active mine site.
Medical Xpress / Shared recollections of events linked to similar brain activity patterns
People who attended or experienced the same event often remember it in completely different ways. For instance, one person might remember a family dinner as warm and enjoyable, while another might recall that the same dinner ...
Phys.org / Coastal land shifts reveal faster local sea level rise than expected
For almost a century, researchers have known that vertical land motion—the lifting and sinking of the ground—affects sea level locally. As the ground sinks, the sea level rises relative to the land. Scientists also assumed ...
Phys.org / An underground detector in China unveils its first major findings about mysterious ghost particles
A massive underground detector aimed at understanding the mysterious ghost particles in our universe released its first major results on Wednesday.
Phys.org / Global warming hit 1.37°C in 2025, with Earth accumulating heat at an accelerating rate
Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C ...
Phys.org / AI helps reveal large-scale quantum effects hidden in stacked atomic sheets
Quantum materials are a class of exotic materials with special properties that are governed by quantum mechanics rather than classical physics. Those properties—like superconductivity, entanglement and unusual forms of magnetism—often ...
Phys.org / New methods make tracking individual bird species during migration possible
Researchers at Cornell Lab of Ornithology, University of Massachusetts and University of Illinois have developed breakthrough methods to track the migration of individual bird species by combining participatory science data ...
Science X / Hot European summers may be predictable years in advance from North Atlantic warming
A buildup of warmth in the North Atlantic Ocean could provide an early warning that Europe is more likely to experience unusually hot summers years later, according to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters.
Phys.org / Antiviral soil compound disrupts phage infection cycle before viruses can reproduce
Bacteria also produce molecules that have an antiviral effect. Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) and Jülich Research Center (FZJ) have examined the antiviral molecule daunorubicin and decoded its ...
Phys.org / Annual global migration has nearly tripled since 2000, reshaping where and how people move
Global migration has risen sharply from approximately 13 million people per year in 2000 to around 35 million people per year in 2023. This is according to a new dataset on human migration published in Nature by researchers ...
Phys.org / Archaeologists uncover 4,000-year-old evidence of siege warfare in ancient Mesopotamia
At Kurd Qaburstan, an ancient site in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, archaeologists have uncovered the first substantial group of cuneiform administrative tablets found in the Erbil region, along with evidence of large-scale ...
